Li Jianbo looked up at the passenger plane flying over his head, with Li Wei right above him.
He wished her all the best in her heart. One year is short, and he will also take time to go to England to see her. The distance has pulled them apart, but I hope the distance can bring them closer together. He was waiting for the day when Li Wei nodded and said yes.
The cell phone in his bag rang. He took it out and saw that it was the elder calling. He pressed the answer button and walked to the parking lot.
"Are you busy lately? Why don't you take the initiative to contact me?"
"I'm afraid it will disturb your rest. Are you okay?"
"Fortunately, your aunt told me some of your situation. I will ask you some things later when I have time. By the way, I have to thank you for your aunt's situation. She seems to have finally gotten rid of her inner demons. ”
"My aunt has also been tempered many times, and ordinary difficulties cannot defeat her." Li Jianbo continued walking, and suddenly he remembered something and asked hurriedly: "Are you planning to go to London to develop your career?"
"London? I only have one pair of hands, so I can't reach that far. If you are willing to help me, you can consider it..."
Li Jianbo listened to the call from his mother and thought to himself: Wei, just wait, I will be with you soon.
Winter in London is very long, and January is almost the coldest time. There are many wet, cold and foggy days. Li Wei and his party have been here for a week, but they still haven't adapted to the weather here.
Li Wei took the clothes that were hanging outside and put them in. They still felt moist to the touch. It seemed that they needed a set of equipment to dry clothes.
Qiu Ci, who lives in the same dormitory, is sitting cross-legged on the bed in an unladylike manner, wrapped in a thick quilt and reading a thick English book in his hand. She is a top student who graduated from a media university in the capital. She just joined the TV station for two years and was assigned to the finance and economics department to do some financial reports. He acts competently and has outstanding professional qualities. The TV station spotted her good talent and intended to train her well, so this time she was sent abroad to study.
Li Wei packed up his clothes, organized his belongings, and tidied the house again.
There were four women traveling with them. She and Qiu Ci were assigned to the same dormitory. Although they were on the same TV station before, they didn't know each other. Now that they were in a foreign country, they were able to take care of each other and gradually became good friends.
The QQ QQ account Qiu Ci logged into rang. She clicked on it and saw it was a video call request. Qiu Ci finally clicked on the video. Li Wei glanced at it and saw a handsome man opposite him, who was Qiu Ci's boyfriend. After coming to Westminster for a week, Qiu Ci had to talk to her boyfriend every day, and Li Wei had long been used to it.
After cleaning the house, Li Wei planned to make something to eat. He opened the refrigerator and took a look. There were butter, jam, and a small box of sliced meat. There are a lot of potatoes on the ground.
In addition to the weather, another thing I can't adapt to is the food. Even if you start cooking by yourself on weekends, it is difficult to buy the vegetables and seasonings you need in supermarkets outside.
Li Wei cooked two dishes as best he could and cooked a pot of delicious soup. When the food was served, Qiu Ci smelled the familiar smell and said with a smile, "I am really blessed to live in the same room as you."
The two of them had eaten, and the afternoon class was about to begin. The two packed up their books and headed to school. Li Wei and Qiu Ci rode bicycles through the quiet streets. It was difficult to encounter an Asian face in the exotic scenery.
The life of studying abroad is actually quite boring. I have to run between the dormitory and the school every day. I finally got through the language period. Then all kinds of professional knowledge came to me like a mountain. How much knowledge can be learned in a year depends on personal efforts.
After a week of classes, it was finally Saturday's turn. Our colleagues were now classmates again, so we decided to visit the bustling city of London. From Westminster to London, you can reach it by underground. Convenient and fast.
They first visited the British Museum, and Li Wei stood in the museum to see other history. Perhaps because of her status, she is always full of reverence for things in history.
From Egyptian mummies to the Rosetta Stone, there are actually many Chinese things. Li Wei felt complicated when seeing things from her homeland being displayed in museums in other countries. She lingered in the oriental culture exhibition hall for a long time and refused to leave. She even saw an engraved jade bowl that looked familiar. There was such a jade bowl in Zhaoyang Palace at the beginning. The jade bowl was placed on the ancient shelf. It did not look very dazzling among the gold and silver toys and ornaments. But in the end, she went to Chongqing Palace with her and stayed there. On the shelf of Chongqing Palace, it became the still inconspicuous item in her collection.
Now that she saw the only jade bowl again, and it was in a museum in another country, her mood was indescribable.
After visiting the museum, everyone suggested going to a restaurant. They walked through several streets and found a random restaurant. A few of them just studied the menu for a long time, and finally one of them ordered a steak.
Many dishes in this country revolve around potatoes, and the cooking methods are also very simple. Differences in diet have always troubled them.
After barely filling our stomachs, everyone started planning their next trip. Qiu Ci then suggested taking a boat trip on the Thames River. Everyone hit it off immediately and responded to this suggestion.
During the time when we first arrived, everyone was full of curiosity and freshness about this country, and they always ran outside whenever they had free time. In early February, Li Wei followed a colleague to Manchester to watch a football match. My colleague is a Manchester United fan, and this was a local derby match. The event was very popular, and Red Devils fans with banners could be seen everywhere.
Fang Bin gave Li Wei a piece of Manchester United's scarf and told her to wrap it up. Li Wei lived up to Fang Bin's intention and wrapped it up as expected. Holding a small flag, she was already a full-fledged enthusiastic fan.
They entered the stadium with their tickets and found the seats marked on the tickets and sat down. The location here is actually not ideal, so Fang Bin was prepared and brought a telescope. For Li Wei, it was just to accompany her friends. She didn't have much interest in football matches.
It didn't take long for the players to enter the field and start warming up, and then the game whistle sounded. Fang Bin then said angrily: "Why is Xiaobei on the bench? Can't he be on the bench?"
As the goals were scored, the game gradually entered a fierce stage. The fans here are very enthusiastic and have been singing the team song to cheer up their favorite team from the beginning of the game. Li Wei was emotionally affected, and soon took part in it. It turned out that feeling the atmosphere on the spot and watching the broadcast in front of the TV were completely different concepts. Football is also a very interesting thing.
